This is the second-farthest east "bottom 'End'" sign on this site. Highway 249 was the last of 41 routes with new numbers created in 1931, even though IA 78 itself had been extended eastward a year earlier.

This intersection is exactly like 363's west end, turned 90 degrees clockwise. In this case, the dominant curve is 78.

Now that 249 has been decommissioned, the 78 shield is alone on the pole, but still stops, probably a remainder from when 78 was a spur that ended in Winfield.
